Sunload‘s portable solar chargers are lightweight, convenient, silent, easy to use, and provide the power you need to extend your mission!

Military electronic devices provide operational features including; data file transfer, voice transmission, two-way radio communications, laser rangefinders, biological-Radiation-Gas sensors, thermal image capture, long-range viewing, electronic sighting, night vision, BGAN satellite terminal and phones, portable GPS and laptop computing. Many of these features need to extend for days if not weeks requiring remote power to complete the mission. Without access to power, the device batteries can completely drain and shut down in 3 hours or less requiring the soldier to either carry additional batteries or find a power source for recharging.

The Sunload solar modules provide a clean, renewable portable power option for extending device and battery operation so that you can continue operating the system. The man-pack solar unit, 62 Wp, is designed to deliver between 150-400 watt hours per day, depending on time of year, locations, and sun availability, and can fully recharge an Army issue 2590 rechargeable battery in 4-5 hours. Our lightweight products have been designed for rapid recharging of various battery types: 12-volt deep cycle lead-acid, BB-390 nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH), BB-590 nickel cadmium (NiCad), BB-2590 lithium ion (Li-ION).

Sunload‘s portable solar chargers are compact and easy to carry in rucksacks or a carrying case such as a Pelican or Storm case. Accessories are available for your specific connectivity and charging needs.

Defense Operations Benefits

Ascent Solar's WaveSol™ Extreme solar module captures and delivers the power of the sun through thin-film PV modules that can be easily integrated into military operations. The benefits of this new technology are not available through any other supplier.

Extreme Durability

WaveSol™ Extreme eliminates the use of glass in solar-powered products making them shatterproof, durable and more resistant in the harsh environments of defense operations.

Non-reflective Finish for Better Performance

WaveSol™ Extreme solar modules are produced for the military with a non-reflective, durable finish, which significantly reduces reflection and glare. These modules are MIL-STD-810G certified.

Maximum Portability

WaveSol™ Extreme solar modules are created on plastic, not glass. Defense products powered by WaveSol™ Extreme solar modules, such as portable electronic devices, are significantly lighter and can be more easily transported by humans. Additionally, products using these solar modules can be folded, carried and unfolded again in the field.

Powerful, Alternative Energy Source

WaveSol™ Extreme solar modules deliver the best energy density of any flexible PV product available. This alternative power source can expand troop capabilities with increased supply-line independence. Alternative energy sources also decrease the need for fossil fuel in the field, a source of vulnerability for troops.

Lightest Weight Energy Source

WaveSol™ Extreme solar modules are created using lightweight, thin-film PV technology and are up to 10 times more powerful than a conventional battery. The power these modules produce can supplement or replace the power in products currently using heavy, traditional batteries.
